News Delhi: The Internet has been flooded with reactions after left-handed batsman Rishab Pant who was seen bowling the final over of the Delhi Premier League match between Purani Dilli 6 vs South Delhi Superstarz. Interestingly, this was the first time that Rishab Pant was seen trying his hands at bowling. The Superstarz needed 1 run in the final over when Pant came to bowl.

Video of the entire incident went viral on social media with many users commenting on the fact that Indian cricketers under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir have been seen bowling. Gambhir has been appointed the head coach of the Indian national cricket team recently and has fostered many important and revolutionary changes. One of the starting points in this direction was asking seasoned batsmen like Suryakumar Yadav, Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma to start bowling. Getting the batsmen to start bowling will add a lot of versatility to the side and will also allow the bowler that extra cushion if someone has an off day.

Coming to the match, the South Delhi Superstarz won a thrilling 3-wicket win over Purani Dilli 6 courtesy of remarkable half-centuries from Ayush Badoni and Priyansh Arya.
